For example one of the characters, a top network security person, did not know what a DDoS attack was or TOR or something. I forget what it was, but something 101 in hacking.
I think this paradox is due to the fact that people watching the series don't necessarily have that much knowledge, so they have to find a way to explain it. I remember that in one of the first episodes, Eliott explains a very simple plan to hack Steel Mountain and the other members of the group don't understand at first, which gives the series' director a good excuse to explain in a more detailed fashion what's going to happen to Steel Mountain through an example. Thing is you didn't even need to be a hacker to understand, just to pay attention. But yeah. they don't want to lose too many people because of too much jargon. What I mean when I say that it's not bullshit is that what the hacking-related stuff is actually genuine. It's not like in other series/movies, where hacking is magic. That's what I mean. img]http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/293739maxresdefault.jpg [/img Good points. It is far more realistic than most shows. I want to like it. Maybe it's just the guy. He seems like he would be depressing to be around, lol. |

Why has amazon not added bitcoin as one of their payment options?
Are there any risks associated with buying and selling on amazon with bitcoins?
eBay and Amazon will more than likely won't accept Bitcoin , at least not anytime soon. Not only they need a lot of users who request Bitcoin but they also need the ability to manage chargebacks etc... (they can do that with PayPal however It's impossible with Bitcoin). ... I can't see how that could be a reason. I have done chargebacks with bitcoin. It goes something like this: me= This hat is too big, I want to return it. them= Ok What is so hard about that? Bitcoin as the global online store like amazon and eBay is not more than just a theoretical, and so there is no a reason for that was to get an accepting by them. about your little example that is true, but it's not about just buying and dealing. Well the big problem really for bitcoin is the price of it is unstable and im pretty sure they are afraid for it since businessman and institution doesn't want to lose money from it and im sure nobody would like to lose since it can lead them to be down, and so thats why i think they are doing deep surveying and analytical data collecting about the market and the user itself, im very sure they are looking for bitcoin but the bad thing is we don't know if they accept it or not. When I talk to businesses about bitcoin your point about instability comes up a lot. They can't deal with holding a currency that could drop 10% overnight. However there is no reason to face any market volatility with a payment processor. A company like BitPay will handle the transaction and make a cash deposit in your bank account each day. That is faster than taking a credit card, safer for all parties, and cheaper by 2%. The only logical reason to not take bitcoin anymore is ignorance of how it works. Bitcoin is a not only a better deal for consumers, but also better for sellers. |

This is a growing issue.  I have been getting some attempts that look more like spearfishing than random mass emailing operations. Keep your coins tight brothers! |

My opinion? Well how bout the mathematical fact that a dice bet is most likely to result in a loss. Why would anyone expect to make money gambling? The casino is going to make money not the gambler.

I want to like it but... I watched the first episode recently and it was a little sophomoric. More like the writing of a person who knows a little about hacking, but not much. For example one of the characters, a top network security person, did not know what a DDoS attack was or TOR or something. I forget what it was, but something 101 in hacking.

Merhaba arkadaş
Don't forget to have your partners sign a legal contract obligating themselves to the terms you decide on. It is very easy for an unscrupulous person to spend away your money and leave nothing to show for it.

honestly i don't know if Barrack Obama ........
watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFku1YugfS0 found he says something like this at exact 1:04 minute "Everybody walking around with swiss bank account in their pocket"I think he is saying this to bitcoin wallet, he have talked in detail about encryption and he think this as threat to economy. I Find this his intention is to not support bitcoin like currency. Good lord! swiss bank accounts are only for the rich. If the little man gets this who will pay all the taxes?!?! The wealthy!? Certainly not. You poor people need to get back to your credit cards and work to enrich the investors. Your job is to remain poor. |

Absolutely not.
There is a lot of talk about the banks destroying bitcoin, yet no one has even shown me a method for doing this. Until someone can show how this could be done, I don't think it will be done.
Banks are trying their best, they are crooks trained in deceiving for 100's of years, seeing how Ripple is backed by banks and freezing user funds and how ripple is valued as third biggest crypto and recent Ethereum bailout and their connections with bank is showing that they are improving with their crony strategies, i believe the free market will dictate its course and they will not win, we have to stay vigilant and protest nonetheless. Of course the banks are welcome to create their own alt-coins. But they can not compete and here is why. Bitcoin fees trend to the lowest profitable amount using a global competition model. Banks would have to buy/rent hash power as no one will volunteer to run their coins. Bitcoin incentivises mining by turning over all new coins to the miners and allowing anyone on the planet to mine. Banks aren't going to give their coins away to people they don't even know. Bitcoin's distribution, and supply can not be changed without consensus from all users. Bank coin value and supply will be decided by the bank, and in the banks best interest. Bank coins will come with whatever rules the bank sees as profitable. With bitcoin no one can stop anyone from doing with their money whatever they wish. Bank coins are not going to work around the world like bitcoin. They will have limited and controlled use. Basically banks can create a money they control and that you can use under their system. Does that sound like something bitcoin users are going to switch to? lol, no of course not. |

1. How are you going to stop the bankers trying to dictator crypto? - I don't have to. There is no way to do it.
2. Are you fully aware of things that are going on? - Um. you mean in the bitcoin world? Sure, more than most I suppose.
3. What measures are you taking now? - I only use BTC online and dumped my credit cards. The banks are only powerful because you keep giving them your money. I do not do that.

I'm afraid you are about 4-5 years late for GPU mining. This is what a bitcoin mine looks like now:  Pool mining may be very unprofitable also. You need to calculate your electricity cost and the cosdt to replace your GPU, which will be under heavy stress. It is more likely that you will profit from buying and spending bitcoin than mining. Still, you may learn some things about bitcoin by mining. |

You don't need to use bitcoin. You are welcome to overpay for the expensive, slow, and insecure systems you already have.

You can't. Think about it. In order to double your bitcoin you are going to need someone else's bitcoin. And why would they give you their bitcoin? They wont. You could try working twice as hard or buying twice as many bitcoin, but websites that claim to double your bitcoin are 99% scams. Your first red flag should be that they want your bitcoins at all. If they could really double bitcoin then why the hell do they need yours?

I would tell them it's none of their business and that inquiries like this are a reason to use bitcoin. There are many banks to choose from and if they want to continue having me as a customer then they should mind their own business or I'll go elsewhere. Banks only understand one thing, money, your money.

There is no mathematical model that can payout more than it takes in. So no. The most likely outcome of any betting game is that you will lose your money.

"...when the funds are needed, the satellite will communicate with a base station on Earth, via a secure link. "
Sounds like a rudimentary internet with VPN.
...
Ah, there's the attack vector then. |
